The 10 routes that stay inside Florida are regulated by the state instead, and the federal 110% rule on non-binding estimates does not apply to them.
How are these Fort Lauderdale route distances and prices worked out?
The distances are estimated from city coordinates using the median road-to-straight-line ratio across our measured corridors, and are marked approximate. Prices come from one published model — distance × home-size factor × service rate past 100 miles, hourly inside it — so every route on this page is comparable with every other.
